Supreme Court and state RICH Is

Springfield (Mass.) Rep: The
last decision of the Supreme Court,
sustaining the right Of the holders
Of Virginia coupons receivable for
taxas to pay them in as such and
compelling the State to receive them,
was rendered by five judges, four dis.
senting. Justice Matthews compos-
ed the decision and with him stood
Justices Field, Harlan, Blatchford
and Woods, while Chief Justice
Waite. and Justices Gray, Bradley
and Miller took the opposite ground,
namely, that the Eleventh Amend.
ment to the Constitution Of the
United States protected the State
from being sued. Thus the two
Southern Judges, Harlan and Woods,
and the only Democrat, Field, went
against Virginia, while four North
ern Republicans, including the Chief
Justice, maintained the States RICH ts
doctrine in behalf of Virginia. One
of the majority, Woods, has now
been taken away, and with bis sue
cessor may rest the balance Of power,
if the case comes up again. The
above fact at least shows that the
court does divide on partisan
grounds,

How A Colored Boy Became
Rich, And the Effect His
Wealth Had Upon Him
One Dollar In The Lou

OF course majority of our citi
zens are opposed to gambling, but
there is considerable pleasure when
you try it to know that you are go
ing to play game that is fair Cliff
ford j. Tweedy, the colored boy who
was the lucky holder of the one
tenth of ticket 23,899-the second

tends doing with his money.
Clifford is likely colored boy,
about twenty one or TWENTY-FIVE
years of age and was raised by Mr.

A 1900. 900 Law Suit Against
the Government.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 10. - Miss
Jane K. Hall Of Montgomery county,
Pa, and married sister living In
this city, have instituted q suit to
recover 100000 from che United
otates government. The ladies claim
to be lineal descendants OF one ia
cob de Haven, wealthy Frenchman,
who emigrated to America and set
tied near Norristown In ante revolu-
tionary times. The story goes that
in 1777 De Haven loaned the coloni-
al government half a million francs
with which to pay the troops, and
during the latter years of the strug
gle contributed further of money,
food and forage. During Washing.
tons first administrator Mr.. de Ha-
ven presented his claims to congress-,
and they were allowed, but as there
was not any surplus in those days,
the claimant was told that he must
wait for his money. He died before
receiving penny, and for more than
half century the claim laid dor
mant. Some time between 1850 and
1860, it is said the official recssas II
Washington were examined and a
sum appropriated to pay the DE Ha-
ven debt, but the claimants, each in
sisting on priority, were SO many,
and the testimony as to descent from
De Haven so poor, that no division
of the money could be made, and the
civil war put stop to further pro-
ceedings In the matter. Now, how
ever, Miss Hall and her sister insist
that they can prove incontestably
that they are De Ravens true heirs,
and they have placed their claims in
the hands OF a Norristown lawyer.

To speak ON John MARSHALL.

During the war the literary aud religious
institutions OF the country suffered severely
from the shock of arms the bitterness and
asperities OF that period were injected into
chWch councils aud colleges. With the
restoration of universal good feeling and the
abatement Of sectional arrangements come
the literary interchauges that characterize
homogeneous people. Frequently OF late
Northern orators Of reputation have been
called to and have served most acceptsby in
making the honorary addresses at the CON-
mencemsnts OF Southern institutes Of learn
ing. Now comes to the North Nirginian of
high repu.e as an orator In the person OF
Hon. X. W. Hughes, United States judge in
the Norfolk district, who will make the ora.
ton on Chief Justice John Marshall, at the
| centennial commencement celebration of
l Franklin aud Marshall college, Lancaster,
Pa, June IA. Judge Hughes conducted the
| Richmond Erdmiaer from 1853 to lsj7; after.
wards he WAS editor Of the wsshiugton
Union; he was conspicuous Supporter OF
| Douglas in the Charleston convention OF
| 1860; he deprecated secession but went " i;h
| hts state into the onfederste cause; was
candidate for governor of Virginia in l>S3
having previously been L. s. district attorney
/ and afterwards WIS appointed judge by
| President Grant in ls74 The fitness OF hi.
selection to eulogizs the great NirgiDisn whC
established the judicial system Of which
Judge Hughes is now . part, will be readily
recognized; and from his reputation as az
orator, . fine address may be expected
Judge Hughes will meet warm welcome in
Pennsylvania, the colleges Of which com
mon wealth bear the names of such famous
Virginisns as Washington, Jefferson and
Marshall.
